Switchgear is a broad phrase that refers to a device that includes many types of metering equipment as well as a protective control system. Generator switchgear suppliers like Blades Power Generation design a variety of devices, including new generators for sale in the UK, for usage in a variety of applications.
Indoor switchgear is used for applications such as rail traction, motor protection, feeder protection, measurements, and more. The switchgear placed at the electrical power substation may perform a variety of duties, including inbound feeder connectivity, switching capacitor banks, control and monitoring, voltage and current measurement, and battery storage.
The switchgear system is directly linked to the power supply system. It is located on the low and high-voltage sides of any power transformer. The objective might be to test, maintain, or clear the equipment. Switchgear might vary depending on the voltage level and economic scope.
Indoor switchgear is commonly used for medium voltages and is also known as Mid-Voltage (MV Switchgear). It is contained in metallic grounded enclosures with voltage levels ranging from 3 to 36 kV (middle voltages). Voltages greater than 36 kV can be used as high voltage.
The switchgear system is encased on all sides by a well-grounded metallic enclosure, which includes inspection and ventilation ports. The units are enclosed in a gaseous atmosphere. Compared to the outside system, the steel enclosure provides a safer atmosphere.
Metal-Enclosed Indoor Switchgear
This switchgear configuration includes metallic sheets on all sides, primary interrupting equipment, and fuses, as well as all equipment components contained in the centralised assembly. The detachable covers and doors enable access to the enclosure's inside.
Metal Clad Switchgear
This switchgear type has vacuum-type circuit breakers that may be removed from their original location. The grounded metallic barriers segregate the relaying and metering equipment. The main bus continuous ratings are 1.2, 2, 3, and 4 kA, with voltage levels ranging from 4.76 to 38 kV.
